Theme & Design

If playing retro arcade games is your thing, then you will definitely enjoy this title...

...created by Genesis Gaming that chose to use a theme that is borrowed from the arcade games that were all the rage back then.

There are really nice pixel-like icons in this game which will bring back some memories in passionate gamers. 

Take a trip back to the 80s and face an 8-bit universe where pixel aliens are invading Earth! 

The image from the background will place the action somewhere in space, aboard a spaceship. 

There are laser guns at the bottom, pointed towards the reels that are covered with alien-looking creatures and ships...

...which you would typically shoot at in an arcade game. 

Even with the poker icons that follow the same trend, you can see that there was enough effort put into this game.

Not only that, but you will also get to hear a very appropriate soundtrack as you play, while…

...all of the sound effects are taken right from retro shooter games, so you’ll feel less like you’re playing a slot and more like you’re back into the 80s playing on an arcade cabinet.

Betting Options

Despite the funky appearance,...

...the basics of this online title are no different than any other as you need to line them up and match the symbols to win the cash prizes. 

The gameboard contains 5 reels but you won’t find any conventional pay lines...

...as Genesis Gaming has instead chosen the more recent style of 243 ways to win.

Now, you’ll just need to pick your total bet which ranges from the low limit of 0.25 up to 50.00 max bets. 

There is also an autoplay function that will run based on several spins, a loss limit or a single win limit. 

If you see a UFO that’s emitting light under it, then you’re looking at the wild symbol. 

It’s the substitute that’s being used in combination with most symbols, to assist them with the formation of new combinations, but...

...it doesn’t do anything for the scatter.

The scatter is the one with the three laser guns, pointed at the sky that offers payouts of up to 150x if there are enough of them on the reels, plus...

...it will also trigger a feature called Defend the Planet.

The first of the regular icons can be found in the form of playing card symbols.

There’s the blue J, the yellow Q, the green K and the pink A, and, collectively...

...they are the game’s highest paying standard symbols. 

Then come icons of alien invaders, a purple one, a pink one, a green one and an orange one. 

The last of these can provide a maximum payout of 500 times your stake. 

Special Features

If 3 or more pictures of Laser Cannons land on the game board in any order, Defend the Planet bonus game will be activated. 

3, 4, or 5 Laser Cannons icons grant 4, 5, or 6 shields respectively. 

You have to survive 3 waves of alien attacks of the intruders. 

Choose 3 laser cannons, and try to exterminate all aliens coming from above. 

Each killed intruder awards a prize, and the game ends once all aliens are killed, or all your shields are destroyed.

Finally,

you will also be able to see an Asteroid blast, thanks to the game's another feature!

Any asteroid that appears on the screen will be destroyed, allowing the new icons to take its place, and...

...you will also get the prize for each asteroid. 

If all asteroids are blasted, and the new icons don’t form the winning combinations, the feature ends.

Our Take

The fascination with life in outer space is evident in all forms of entertainment from films to literature and even appearing in virtual products.

While the layout of this slot game is very much standard, the overall theme and its inbuilt features are very impressive, and...

...Genesis Gaming has made sure to add some crisp and clear imagery. 

8 Bit Intruders offers the chance to indulge in some arcade-style play while still gunning for big cash payouts, plus...

...there are other extras such as wilds and multipliers too.
